Chapter 11 The Results Are Out

• Benjamin Cohen
• Never did I expect to run into Amelia on the way back home.
• "Look, it's our partner! I can smell her!" Eric detected her presence nearby.
• I was soon able to locate Amelia with Eric's help. However, anger stirred in me when I saw she was drenched from head to toe. I seethed, doesn't she know how to take care of herself?
• I instructed the chauffeur to drive closer to her so that I could carry her into the vehicle. Being in such close proximity to Amelia had left Eric feeling jittery and excited inside. "Our partner is so sweet. I want to be with her so badly!"
• My body started to tense when I was carrying Amelia. I coaxed, "Calm down, Eric. She's still young. You're going to scare her." I quickly separated myself from her or else she would notice something was wrong.
• Once we arrived back at the Cohen villa, my heart lurched when I saw Amelia standing daintily in a corner, her hair drenched and dripping with water. As soon as it saw how vulnerable she was, my wolf began to pound with excitement.
• I had to use every ounce of willpower to control my lust and desires. I grabbed the towel from the sofa and told Amelia to take a bath as I was on the verge of losing control.
• My struggle for self-control must have appeared terrifying as I caught her looking at me with frightened wariness. Luckily, she heeded my words and went to the bathroom.
• I heaved a sigh of relief and instructed my servants to prepare a bowl of chicken soup. As I waited for her to return, I reminded Eric again to control his urges. It would not do us any good if she ran away in fear.
• Amelia was done with her shower half an hour later. I took the piping hot chicken soup and said, "Drink this."
• She regarded the bowl with skepticism, intending to decline my offer. However, before she could say anything, she gave a loud sneeze. With an apologetic smile, she took the bowl of chicken soup and drank it in one mouthful.
• "Isn't she adorable?" Eric praised.
• I tried to stifle my laughter as I knew she had intended to reject my kind offer.
• Just then, Amelia asked, "I wish to return home. Would you mind lending me some clothes?"
• My attention was drawn to her fair skin wrapped under the towel. My mind kept wandering to the image of her slender body in the showers.
• "You want to be with her too, don't you?" Eric continued seductively, "Why don't we…"
• "Shut up!" I yelled at my wolf. I made every effort to push those shameless thoughts away.
• "I'll get someone to send it to you," I replied in a deep voice. To avoid losing control again, I turned away and tried to keep my distance.
• My servant returned a few minutes later with a white dress that matched Amelia's skin tone. When she emerged from the bathroom, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the dress fit her perfectly. Unfortunately, we could not spend more time together as Amelia was rushing to get home. I had to watch her leave with much regret.
• Adrian Flores
• It was customary for all of the teachers to gather and grade the exams at Sierra High School. The test this year was no exception.
• Some of the teachers gathered for a chat.
• "I wonder how my class fared this time around."
• "You should be happy with your grades because Class B always performs well. Class F, on the other hand, is always last."
• "I'm envious of Class A. They are always the top-scorer."
• All of the teachers turned to gaze enviously at Adrian. He lamented in response, "Haven't you heard about our new student? It'll be embarrassing if she's ranked last in the entire school."
• Adrian was disheartened at the thought of Amelia, the village bumpkin with poor grades; Yelena also gave a negative feedback about her.
• The teachers looked visibly relieved when they heard Adrian's concerns.
• He sighed and grumbled, "The new student is a pain. She fought with Trisha from Class B the other day. Because of this incident, I got a lecture from the principal."
• Adrian had already planned to ask the principal to transfer Amelia to Class F after the results were released to avoid dealing with such incidents in the future.
• The discussion quickly turned to the evaluation of test results because nobody seemed particularly interested in a village bumpkin.
• "When I was grading the Spanish paper earlier, I realized one of the students obtained full marks for the close-ended questions and near-perfect scores for the open-ended questions. I wonder who's the talented student! The Spanish paper this time is one of the hardest in history," a teacher said in awe.
• The teachers were unaware of which student or class they were grading to ensure fairness and parity. Hence, none were able to confirm the identity of the student.
• "It must be Angelica from Class A. Her Spanish is pretty good."
• "It may also be Castor, the new student in Class A. His grades in the eleventh grade were close to perfection."
• While the teachers were still debating about the student's identity, the head teacher walked over and announced, "You may log on to the portal to check the results."
• Adrian returned to his desk immediately to see who had scored the highest on the exams. The class scored an average of 126 out of 150 for Spanish, 119 out of 150 for Math, and 101 out of 150 for English.
• The grades were not particularly impressive for Sierra High School's top class. However, it was understandable given that the papers this time were more challenging. She was glad that the class average was approximately 400 out of 450.
• Suddenly, a particular student's stellar grade caught Adrian's attention. He scored a total of 440 out of 450, with an average of 147 out of 150 for each subject. Next, Adrian searched for the student's identity with bated breath.
• First, he saw Castor's grades. The boy scored 120 for Spanish, 128 for Math, and 133 for English. With a total score of 381 points, the teacher was mildly impressed that he was a celebrity all-rounder capable of academic excellence.
• Angelica was Adrian's best bet because Castor was not the student with a total score of 440.
• Next in line was Amelia. Adrian had planned to skip the student because he was afraid of having a heart attack from her poor performance. In the end, he decided to face the hard truth.
• Adrian took a deep breath and entered Amelia's profile. His mind raced with scenarios of how he could kick the student out of Class A.
• However, Amelia's results were a shocking surprise.
